Green Rooibos Citron

Fruit Rooibos Blend by Adagio Teas

Citrus flavors of lemon and orange paired with the light bodied natural fruitiness of green rooibos will carry you away to orange groves and lemon trees. Great hot or iced this naturally caffeine-free juicy, uplifting blend will bring a ray of sunshine to your cup.

I thought I had already tried this and logged this but it appears I was mistaking!

This is pretty good! I like the green rooibos base WITH the Citron. The citron is pretty tasty…mostly lemon and/or citrus but there is that little bit of wax/citronella candle type thing going on a bit.

It smells great and it’s taste isn’t too shabby either!

Tried this iced today – and it’s delish! It’s sweet enough on its own, no sugar or Splenda needed. I steeped it for about two hours in a Diet Snapple bottle.

This reminds me of an Arnold Palmer, you know: a blend of lemonade and tea. Really good and I’m glad I can at least take advantage of green rooibos since red rooibos is my Tea Foe!

Fruit loops! OMG this smells just like fruit loops brewed up. Tastes nothing like them, thank goodness! I like this. The citrus is seriously backgrounded which is more to my liking than overwhelming acidity.
There is some sweetness at the finish – otherwise I’m not tasting too much, but this is perfect for an evening drink to put me to sleep. I’m actually feeling sleepy already…

Very nice! Sweet, with creamy notes, and a nice tangy flavor too. Reminds me a bit of lemon meringue pie. The rooibos doesn’t become an overwhelming flavor here, instead, it compliments the fruit flavors quite nicely.

Pretty tea! It looks like I’ve got green rooibos, chunks of fruit (the package is downstairs, I’m assuming orange and lemon) and some pretty flower petals in the tea. The liquor is a nice deep orange, it smells tangy and citrusy.

I definitely taste the lemon, and I think the orange kind of mingles with it. It’s not bad, especially considering that citrus teas aren’t my favorite. It’s sweet, definitely no sugar needed here. I’d love to try it iced as I love the Green Rooibos Bonita iced (which has more fruit like peaches, and no citrus). Tasty!

Edit: I just read in another review that this smells like fruity pebbles, so I re-sniffed and yes it does! Kind of tastes like it too!

This tea is astounding for the price! It smells just like fruity pebbles and tastes just as good! I really love the base for this one. It’s colorful, light, and the lemon is great. This tea is perfect for this light summer drizzle we’ve been having!
I think that I prefer green rooibos now. It has less of that woodsy flavor that rooibos is known for. I think that this would be a tea that I would purchase a full bag of. I think that out of the non-tea blend creations this has to be one of the best I’ve tried! This would be a great tea to take on the go because of the simple temp./time constraints. Light, fruity, awesome!

Ugh. So today started out really lovely, mail packages, Sherlock books, and lots of work done! But halfway through the day I got bombarded with political stuff and later had a migraine. It was pretty awful and ruined my whole night. I had pizza, but it got eaten so quickly I barely got to enjoy it.
I’m having this because I’m trying to calm myself down and needed something herbal! This tea is very nice. I love the fruity pebble cereal smell and flavor. This tea totally hits the flavor profile that earl grey smells like! lol I am still not overly fond of earl grey. This tea is such a great late night cuppa because you get a full flavored tea without having to have caffeine. The green tea version of this is also pretty great, but has more lemon while this version is more rounded out with tropical tastiness.

Wow, I’ve been moving through this sample so quickly! This rooibos is really sweet, lemony (without being astringent or tart), and overall a great way to enjoy a caffeine free cuppa! I would really suggest this one for summer drinking as the fruit notes are just perfect for me. I find that the sweetness overall comes more from the lemon itself instead of dried fruit pieces (I’m looking at you Teavana!!!) and I’m actually really happy with this one. I think that I’d be happy buying this in the larger amount!

My first experiences with Adagio tea is proving a good one.
These Rooibos blends are really tasty, and good quality! Me likey.

This one is tart and tastes just like a lemon meringue pie with my frothed milk. The rooibos gives the perfect pie base, and a little drizzle of vanilla for sweetness. Mmmm I’m in heaven.

p.s. they changed my desktop at work, I’m now imaged to Denver (I work in a US department), so no more Steepster at work. I know it’s probably a good thing, but I was actually less productive today! Withdrawl haha.

Thanks SimplyJenW!

Another of the teas I received in the swap with Brandy. I really love green rooibos. I don’t know why the green makes me so much happier than the red which makes me blech, but it does make me happy and I’m going with it. This was delicious hot, even more so with a pinch of sugar. I could imagine this being a great iced drink. I think I will be buying more of this and the other green rooibos blends Adagio has in the not so near future (not so near because I have a mountain of tea I am working my way through and I couldn’t be happier!)

Hmm… pretty good! It like an earthy lemon. You can definitely tell it’s a rooibos, but it’s not as strongly medicinal. I think I’m slowly getting used to rooibos thanks to all of DaisyChubb’s samples, this one included. :)
There’s a hint of bitterness. I think it’s from the lemon peel. There’s a sweet sugary kind of background that I’m finding in all my rooibos and honeybush I’ve tried so far. I thought it was part of the flavoring, but now I’m beginning to think it might just be the rooibos. I should get some unflavored ones to taste.

I opened the bag and was awash in a divine smell! Full citrus smell, oranges and lemons but not like dish-soap, just very fresh and crisp and yummy! It tastes just like it smells, delicious! There is a bit of the earthiness from the actual rooibos, but the citrus flavors have the limelight here! (Yes, I know that’s my second terrible joke today.) There might be some sort of mint to it. I could be wrong, but there’s this hint of something tingly like mint, may just be the citrus though. Either way once this sample runs out, or even before it does, I have all intentions of buying more, it’s just so good!

Wonderful! This has to be the most perfect lemon tea I’ve had so far. Just delish and light. Yummy!

First of all, I’m grateful for green rooibos because I can’t stand the red bush stuff anymore after getting so tired of it.

I was really craving a lemon flavored tea one day when I remembered I had a sample of this to try. The lemony scent from opening it was perfect and just what I wanted.

Brewed its pretty nice but best enjoyed with a lemon cookie! I imagine it would be amazing with some lemon flavored sugar. One day I’ll make some and come back to this.
